E6 - "Mansion"

“I put holes in the walls with both of my fists 'til they bleedYou might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me…I gotta thank you for this anger that I carry aroundWish I could take a match and burn this whole room to the ground”- NFI feel that anger is treated as some taboo emotion that we are told and taught to avoid. That we shouldn’t express this emotion in fear of being labeled as aggressive or toxic or abusive. Yes, people that are those things tend to weaponize their anger to cause harm to others, which is in no way, shape or form okay.But being mad about someone stealing your package or cutting you off in traffic, shouldn’t have you labeled as those things. Anger is a completely normal emotion to have and can be expressed or released without having to cause harm to yourself or anyone else.Suppressing anger will only make it worse. Suppressing any emotion only makes it worse, take it from someone who put all emotions, except anger, in a box and didn’t touch it for over 2 decades.Being able to suppress your anger doesn’t mean that you have a handle on it because once it builds up and it becomes too much to suppress, it’s going to explode and you are not going to be able to control it.It is possible to use your anger in a positive way, as a driving force, as a motivator. You can use this emotion to your advantage, I do.This episode was named after NF’s song “Mansion” featuring Fleurie.
